| | | THURSDAY- SEPTEMBER 26, 1912. REAL BOSS GF GIANTS Responsibility Shifted on Former Oriole Captain. Witbert Robinson Given Credit for | Success of Rube Marquard and Wonderful Showing of Mec- Graw's Team This Season. Wilbert Robinson, formerly back- stop of the invincible Orioles, stands today in the spotlight of fandom as the most successful trainer in base- ball. Robbie is responsible for the suc- cess of Rube Marquard, and as well for the wonderful showing the Giants tave made this season and last. Most #f the honor goes to John McGraw, smanager of the famous New York team, but if anything serious should rappen to the little Napoleon there is ittle doubt that Robbie would step in- 0 his shoes. The result of Robinson's success is hat he has been placed almost in en- ire cha of the team, McGraw elect- g to w ss each game from the side [ines, although all the work that once purdened his shoulders has been shifted to the Baltimorean. For his hare in keeping the team in trim Rob- e draws down $1 week, and he as i ed to iberal percentage receipts in every world series | ich the Giants figure in the divi- sion. Robbie recently spent two days in Baltimore. In an interview Robbie stated that his duties are to work out the players in morning practice, to se- fect the pitchers for each day, to de- cide when a twirler is to be taken out and to work the signals from the bench. “There is no doubt in my mind ebout the National league winning is season,” Robbie says. “We've got the pennant cinched, and there will be a new champion team of the world when the big series of next fall is over with. There is no secret to the success of our team. It is the best aggregation of players in baseball, and there is not a weak spot any- where. Team work figures largely in the results, but that's what makes or breaks any club, as without it no or- ganization can expect to meet with the unprecendented success that has characterized our n h so far this season and the latter t of last.”” MAKING GOOD AT FIRST BASE Jack Miller Fills 8ig Gap in Pittsburg Team by Clever Work at the Initial Sack, The Pirates have a better first base- man this season than they have had Miller, who formerly one sack for the Jack Miller. | Pirates, was moved over to first and as done so well that he has been made a T anent fixture there. First base has long been a weak spot in the | Pittst line-up. Manager Fred nore than one pen- the Smoky City through weakness at the initial sack. ‘The Pirates have been playing bet- ter ball lately than they did in the fore part of the ason, and have hopes of winding up in the first or sec- ond place. | 1 _— | Fromme Makes History. | Considerable history was made| when Art Fromme shut out the Giants | with one hit in Cincinnati. It was the first one-hit game in the National this season; it was the second time the | Reds had beaten Mathewson this sea~ son and the first time on their own grounds since 1908. Browns Will Be Favorites. In the coming fall series between the Browns and Cardinals in St. Louia conditions will be reversed in that the Browns will be strong favorites on the recent showing they have made in the American league. The series will start October 8 and seven games will be played. Star Pltcher is Sold. Albert Leak, who was considered the star pitcher of the Central Kansas league, was sold by Junction City fol- lowing the close of the league season, to Traverse City of the Michigan State league for $500. When not pitching, Leak plaved the outfield for Junction | City because of his ability to hit. I Mrs. Britton Makes Denial. Mrs. Britton of the Cardinals denfed that she sought to trade Roger Bres- nahan to Cincinnati. says there is no ill feeling and that Roger will be her manager for years to come, just as his contract says. 1 High Price for a Rembrandt. A work of Rembrandt— Woman Fiucking a Fowl'—recently sold in| Faris for $95,000, appears to hold the| Hardly a Compliment. | It is said that General Crittende: used to tell with great glee of wha his small son, then eight or nine vean ‘ | Goat Proved Poor Sailor. < While a man temporarily abandoned | his skiff along the banks of the Ches- | ter river in Pensylvania the other day | record price for that artist's work. | 0ld, said to him a day or two afte' | g goat jumped into the craft.

The skiff quickly filled with water and | sank, taking the goat with it. The goat was drowned. An article that has real merit, should in time become popular. That such is the case with Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has been attested by | many dealers. Here is one of them. H. W.
